You never know when it\u2019ll hit you \u2013 that wave of dizziness, that bout of nausea, that shock of experiencing a spinning sensation.<\/p>\n

Many people don\u2019t understand it. They don\u2019t know why they\u2019re having balance issues or what\u2019s causing them or how to prevent them. Eventually, they begin to develop an anxiety and fear of not knowing what\u2019s happening or when it\u2019ll happen next.<\/p>\n

The good news is that there are treatments for balance disorders, and many come in the form of physical therapy, says Tracy Wiebking, physical therapist at\u00a0ATI Physical Therapy in Bear, DE.<\/a><\/p>\n

How can you treat balance issues through physical therapy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Each balance disorder is treated differently, says Tracy. BBPV (short for Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo) is a common balance disorder caused by tiny crystals that come loose in the inner ear and therefore trigger vertigo sensations. Often, BPPV can be treated in one or two visits, as the physical therapist helps realign the inner ear crystals to resolve the issues. Other balance issues, whether they\u2019re peripheral or central, may take anywhere from one month to one year to treat.<\/p>\n

What symptoms should you look for?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The key symptom to look for is dizziness when you change position, says Tracy. If you experience disorientation after moving your head, bending down, lying in bed, or sitting down, then you may have a balance disorder that can be treated through\u00a0vestibular rehabilitation<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When should someone get treatment?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The sooner, the better! The longer you wait to get treatment, the more one vestibular organ (either the left or the right) will have to compensate for the other. Over time, the balance issues may get worse, which is why it\u2019s best to get treatment as early as possible, says Tracy.<\/p>\n

How long does treatment last?<\/strong><\/p>\n

As she mentioned, some treatment takes longer than others, depending on a patient\u2019s condition. However, it\u2019s imperative that patients complete their at-home exercises to help their recovery process.<\/p>\n

\u201cI tell them they\u2019re going to feel generally \u2018yucky\u2019 after doing their at-home exercises at first,\u201d says Tracy. \u201cIt\u2019s not fun, but it\u2019s normal, and eventually those repeated exercises help the patient see major improvements.\u201d<\/p>\n

If you are one of the 69 million Americans who experiences balance issues, consider coming in for a complimentary screening and learn if vestibular rehabilitation is a good treatment option for you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
